Mandate the CERN for AI to build safe superintelligence

A thought experiment for regulating AI in two distinct regimes is what I call The Island. In this scenario, experts trying to build God-like AGI systems do so in a highly secure facility: an air-gapped enclosure with the best security humans can buil...

Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world, and Europe must take bold steps to ensure its leadership in this critical field. CAIRNE envisions a “CERN for AI”—a pan-European initiative that will create a distributed network of AI research cente...

I would like to see a CERN for AI [...] where all the top scientists come together and see whether they can make a super intelligence. And, if they can, they contain it into a system where it can't just go out and persuade people to let it run the wo...

I would advocate for a kind of CERN for AGI, and by that, I mean a kind of international research-focused high-end collaboration on the frontiers of AGI development to try and make that as safe as possible. You would also have to pair it with a kind...

In my (currently) preferred version of a CERN for AI, an initially small but steadily growing coalition of companies and countries would: * Collaborate on designing and building highly secure chips and datacenters; * Collaborate on accelerating ...

First, we need some degree of coordination among the leading development efforts to ensure that the development of superintelligence occurs in a manner that allows us to both maintain safety and help smooth integration of these systems with society. ...

The ethical issues related to the possible future creation of machines with general intellectual capabilities far outstripping those of humans are quite distinct from any ethical problems arising in current automation and information systems. Such su...

Well, there are positive signs, for instance, like Henry Kissinger was recently suggested in foreign affairs that the US cooperate with China on this issue now, but before it's too late. So I think some people are recognizing the the importance of tr...

In the face of these threats, I urge the Government to take the following steps: first, to publicly recognise that superintelligence poses an extinction threat to humanity; secondly, for the UK to prevent the development of superintelligence on its s...

I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine superintelligence.

prevent the development of artificial superintelligence and keep humanity in control. [...] inform every relevant person in the democratic process [...]

Suppose that frontier AI development is centralized to a single project under tight international controls, with all other development banned internationally. By far the likeliest outcome of this is that we all die. A centralized group of internatio...

Treating speculative “superintelligence” as the policy target and proposing to freeze development until there’s public buy‑in and scientific consensus distracts from the actual, present‑day harms of AI systems. These systems are already amplifying di...

We should rapidly develop powerful AI tools that help cure diseases and solve practical problems, but not autonomous smarter-than-human machines that nobody knows how to control. Creating superintelligent machines is not only unacceptably dangerous a...

To get the most from what AI has to offer mankind, there is simply no need to reach for the unknowable and highly risky goal of superintelligence, which is by far a frontier too far. By definition this would result in a power that we could neither un...

If we build it using anything remotely like modern methods, on anything remotely like the current understanding or lack of understanding that we have about AI, then yeah, building it anytime soon would be a death sentence. [...] When you're in a car ...

We don't have to do this. We have human-competitive AI, and there's no need to build AI with which we can't compete. We can build amazing AI tools without building a successor species. The notion that AGI and superintelligence are inevitable is a cho...

I did not sign that letter for four reasons. First, it is useless, because it arrives late. [...] The second reason is that its foundations look more like what I consider science fiction: it relies on a generic description of artificial intelligence ...

Trying to ‘build’ AGI is an inherently unsafe practice. Build well-scoped, well-defined systems instead. Don’t attempt to build a God.
